Ayane

Ugh...

My head's still ringing... At least the fever's mostly gone...

Wow! Look at the time...!

Ah...

I told them I'd be resting at my place today... Everyone else is supposed to be at the gym for cleaning...

...

They should be fine on their own, right? Serika and the rest...?

I'm the one who accepted that part-time job, but I couldn't make it...even though everyone told me that they don't mind...

Ugh...

This is because they speak nonsense constantly.

They're always telling me their ridiculous plans, like kidnapping students from other schools!

So, that's why!

...

*sigh*

I should bring some snacks to our club room later...

I think they deserve a warm welcome when they get back. They're working hard in my stead today, after all...

*buzzes*

Ayane

Huh? MomoTalk?

Oh, it's from...Hoshino?

...

Hmm?

Hoshino

"Yoohoo! Ayane! We've arrived at our part-time gig, but we have a bit of a problem."

"The gym is in even worse shape than I imagined, but I'm not sure we're in the right place..."

"We swept the entrance of the gym clean, but there's a lot more trash inside!"

"This seems like too much manual labor for an old lady like me..."

"Can we just not do it and say we did? Do we really have to do this whole job?"

Ayane

...

*twitching* ...Ugh!

*boom*

*boooooom*

Nonomi

There's more coming out from inside! There's a ton!

Shiroko

Not a problem. Leave it to me.

Serika

Did Ayane reply? What did she say? Are we actually supposed to be doing this?

Hoshino

Hmm. Well, let me see what Ayane wrote.

"Oh, please. You can handle simple stuff like this by yourself."

"Part-time jobs are supposed to be tiring and difficult."

"So just do it."

That's what it says. Is she mad? She sounds mad.

Nonomi

If we give up here, we'll be letting Ayane down. There's no turning back!

Cheer up, everyone! For Ayane!

Shiroko

You're right. We have to properly complete the task Ayane gave us.

Serika

Uh, yeah! I knew that already, duh! I was just checking! Now let's go!

Hoshino

Could this be the power of friendship? Ah, how I envy the young.

Serika

Remember, you're not that much older than me!

Ayane

...ugh!

All done!

Good, this is perfect. That should be more than enough snacks and drinks.

This will be a great way to welcome the crew back after a hard day's work.

Hmm... They're taking longer than I expected, though. The job shouldn't take this long...

I wonder if there was a lot to clean up. I think I should've gone with them...

I feel like I let them down...

*ring* *ring*

Ayane

A phone call?

Abydos Foreclosure Task Force. How can I help you?

...

Pardon?

The team that's supposed to clean up the gym...hasn't arrived yet?!

No way. Hoshino just contacted me saying...

Wha...?! Cancellation charge?! Please, just hold on a second. I'm sure there's been some kind of misunderstanding!

*click* Eh? Hello? ...Hello?!

...

...

Wha?

*ring* *ring*

Ayane

...Hello?

Facility Manager

Is this the Abydos Foreclosure Task Force?

Ayane

Wh-Who is this?

Facility Manager

We confirmed that your academy's students got into a scuffle with our town's extremist sports organization, the Morning Radio Calisthenics Advocate Group.

Ayane

...

Come again?

Facility Manager

During the skirmish, an Abydos student's drone bombarded and demolished the entire gym, leaving the entire facility, both inside and out, unusable...

Surely this is a fault of our town's extremist organization to some degree, but the damages are through the roof!

Which, unfortunately...leaves us no choice but to make a claim to your academy for a proportionate amount of the damage.

Ayane

...

What?!

*thud* *door opening* *slam*

Serika

Hold on, you can't just barge in like that.

I'm not ready!

Hoshino

Sometimes, it's better to go with the flow, Serika.

Hey, Ayane! We're back!

Nonomi

We're back!

Hoshino

So...turns out we were at the wrong gym! Isn't that funny?

Hoshino

Oh. Are you already on the phone?

Uh-oh. Looks like we're in trouble. I'll have to explain things myself if I want to come up with an excuse. Maybe I'm too late...

Nonomi

Oh no... We're in even more trouble now than the time we fought the Radio Calisthenics Group, aren't we?

Shiroko

I might have miscalculated the amount of explosives I had on the drone, which ended up destroying a pillar or two...

Serika

Please just stay still and stop getting on Ayane's nerves!

Serika

Wait, Ayane! Wait just a second! I understand why you might be mad... I mean, you're totally right to be mad, but...!

There's a good reason for this...! Well, it's more of an excuse than a reason, but hear me out!

So, the thing is...

*click*

Serika

...!

Nonomi

...!

Ayane

...

Starting now...

...if I call your name...

...stay in the room...

Serika

*gulp*

Ayane

...

...Serika.

Serika

...Wha?! Uh, yes?! Me?

Ayane

...

...Everyone except Serika, please leave.
